The distance between A and B is d = |B - A|
We have d = 3 and A = 12.
Substitute:

<h3>Answer: 9 and 15.</h3>
-22 belongs to the set of Integers, rational numbers
Given
gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.
Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.
To proof
gas prices now = $3.75
let the gas price 6 month ago = x
gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago
First write 10% in simpler form

= 0.1
Now the equation becomes
0.1x + x = 3.75
1.1x = 3.75

x = 3.41 (approx)
Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )
Hence proved
draw a perpendicular line from the directrix passing through the focus, this will be the line of symmetry.
The vertex(h, k) will be located on the line half way between the focus and directrix.
The distance from the focus to the vertex is called the focal length, call it a. The then equation is
(x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k)
the equation can be manipulated to
y = 1/4a(x - h)^2 + k
hope it helps
